This is similar to the old retopo all option but uses the snapping code and not the openGL depth buffer (it's thus more precise).
Not sure if making it available as a snap option is sensible, this is up for discussion.
NOTE: it will get slow fast on large meshes, we need to plug in an acceleration structure into snapping.
This will need an icon too.
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.
* Added a new option for Auto-Keyframing which makes it only insert keyframes for the items included in the active Keying Set.
This only works for Transform Auto-Keyframing so far (other tools will get it added later). The option is disabled by default.
* Fixed bug where adding an 'entire' array to some KeyingSet would only start from the index of the button that the mouse was over at the time
* Made some UI tweaks for Keying Sets buttons (still heaps of missing options there).
Create new orientation is now Ctrl-Alt-Space (Alt-Space is select orientation and the old ctrl-shift-c is taken by add constraints).
New orientation panel in 3d view sidebar (nkey) has operator buttons for select, create and delete. Eventually, this should become a list.
Note that orientation operators are missing notifiers to properly redraw the 3d view and its header properly.
This (biggish) commit generalises the rotation modes functionality added for Bones, allowing Objects to use the various Euler Rotation orders, Axis-Angle, and Quaternion rotation representations.
I've also cleaned up the nomenclature of the rotation-related settings so that the naming styles are more consistent with each other. Unfortunately, this will break all files involving object or bone rotation animation made in 2.5 versions (2.4x will still get correctly converted).
General Notes:
* By default, Objects still default to using Eulers, while Bones will use Quaternions by default still.
* I've fixed all areas that I'm currently aware of to work with these changes. However, there are probably a few places where I've missed a few changes (i.e. auto-keyframing will need attention later).
* Removed the old "IPO-Keys" stuff from Transform code. I'm unlikely to restore this in the near future, and trying to fix that to include support for this commit would have been too much work.
* All tools where rotation order matters for armature bones have now been adjusted to use the new code
* Transform now uses the new code for bones too. However, there are some jumping issues here that I'm not too sure how to solve yet. Help fixing this is welcome.
Modal keymaps.
I've tried to make it as simple as possible, yet still using sufficient facilities to enable self-documenting UIs, saving/reading in files, and proper Python support.
The simplicity is: the 'modal keymap' just checks an event, uses event matching similarly to other keymap matching, and if there's a match it changes the event type, and sets the event value to what the modal keymap has defined. The event values are being defined using EnumPropertyItem structs, so the UI will be able to show all options in self-documenting way.
This system also allows to still handle hardcoded own events.
Tech doc:
1) define keymap
- Create map with unique name, WM_modalkeymap_add()
- Give map property definitions (EnumPropertyItem *)
This only for UI, so user can get information on available options
2) items
- WM_modalkeymap_add_item(): give it an enum value for events
3) activate
- In keymap definition code, assign the modal keymap to operatortype
WM_modalkeymap_assign()
4) event manager
- The event handler will check for modal keymap, if so:
- If the modal map has a match:
- Sets event->type to EVT_MODAL_MAP
- Sets event->val to the enum value
5) modal handler
- If event type is EVT_MODAL_MAP:
- Check event->val, handle it
- Other events can just be handled still
Two examples added in the code:
editors/transform/transform.c: transform_modal_keymap()
editors/screen/screen_ops.c: keymap_modal_set()
Also: to support 'key release' the define KM_RELEASE now is officially
used in event manager, this is not '0', so don't check key events with
the old convention if(event->val) but use if(event->val==KM_PRESS)
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
Made transform confirm or cancel on mouse up. More inline with button clicking and better for tablets.
Add operator params to make sure Rip and Extrude turn off PET and Mirror correctly.
Note: sorry for all the whitespace changes, I need to reconfigure this editor not to do autocleanup.
* Rename BIF_transform/retopo.h to ED_transform/retopo.h
for consistency.
* Move MESH_OT_duplicate_add to editmesh_add.c.
* Remove some code from BIF_gl.h which is not needed there
anymore.
Brought back the basics for transform manipulators. Martin will
hook it all up to new transform system.
Some notes:
- Still uses G.moving
- BIF_do_manipulator() is called as a View3D Operator
I've tested selecting handles, added a print to confirm
- BIF_GetTransInfo() returns a dummy struct now, just to get
it running.
- Marked some other issues with XXX
Recoded the Transform code for NLA-Strips so that they can now be moved between strips and will not get truncated when they get moved into other non-moving strips.
Todos:
* The current code for moving strips between tracks is buggy (only goes up, and has a tendency to move up without being told to)
* Auto-snapping doesn't work yet...
* Moved proportional edit, snap, autokey mode, and a few others
from Scene to ToolSettings.
* RNA wrapped properties in ToolSettings for the UV editor:
proportional edit, snap settings, selection modes.
This commit restores transform support for NLA. Grab, scale, 'extend', and tweak (i.e. grab by just click+dragging) are implemented.
Notes:
- As soon as one end of a strip touches another adjacent strip (within the same track), that end stops moving. This has been done to avoid the situation where overlapping strips within the same track (which is not allowed) might be caused by transforms.
- Made some changes to the RNA setters for the strip extents so that the validation above could take place (and other necessary changes on a per-strip basis could also occur).
TODO's ?
- Strips cannot be transferred from track to track using transforms. I've yet to decide whether this needs to be done, or whether a separate operator will suffice.
- What happens to the range of Actions used when the strips change sizes unexpectedly (i.e. the no-overlap condition above)? Currently range stays the same, but this doesn't always seem desirable?
Made 'select-tweak-grab' work in 3d window, fcurve and nodes.
For nodes it works with both left/right, the others follow
user preset for select.
Tweak is a WM event, which also follows user preset for
tablet-style tweaks (release = apply).
You enable tweak events with an operator WM_OT_tweak_gesture.
Keymap entries can assign to left/middle/right button or to
action/select button tweaks.
I've ported the transform tools for this editor as they existed in the AnimSys2 branch (minus some of the experimental pivot options which were not useful enough yet).
Hotkeys are:
* GKEY - transforms points as always
* RKEY - rotates points (only useful for a single 'knot')
* SKEY - scales points
* EKEY - like in the DopeSheet, the 'extend' translation tool only moves all the keyframes on the same side of the current frame indicator as the mouse
Useful tweaks ported from AnimSys2 include:
* Auto-snapping is on by default for time-values on the keyframes only. Handles are not snapped (or shouldn't be).
* Rotating/Scaling new keyframes using default handles (i.e. Auto-Handles) now works, as the handle is now converted to aligned so that changes can be seen.
can transform the strips or move their handles
Still todo, click-drag transform, metastrips support, snapping, markers overlap checks and constrain to valid channels.
View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
Transform Numeric Input: Inverse
Press "/" to toggle inverse value (1/N).
Makes it easy to scale down by specific values (you can just type S / 7 to scale down by 7, for example).
This doesn't give full fraction input (X/Y).
Suggestion from a talk with Gwenouille on ba.org
- remove Verse support. This will be brought back in The Future (probably jiri + me)
This means 5k lines less in blenkernel.
- fix two small errors for global cleanup, now compiles properly with FFMPEG enabled too.
- after talking with Martin P (theeth), I have now shuffled code around
so that there is no more exception code for nodes in the wrong places.
This means node editor now also use entirely common translation.
As proof of concept, there is now also resize and rotate support. It already
works, but there need to be a bit more thought in how those
actions are initialised for node editor. Probably some way to tell
what to use as pivot point, etc.
Transform operator replay
Basic support working. Only saves mode and values, not constraint setup.
Removed event pointer from TransInfo (it's not available in operator exec). Replaced checks to event->modifiers to a functional modifier bitfield in TransInfo (that is, instead of checking for Shift, it checks for MOD_PRECISION) to make it remappable later.
Misc:
X-Mirror for mesh now working with transform
- Transform for editmesh (including PET and editmesh snap) X-Mirror doesn't seem to work, but the option isn't accessible in the UI, so...
- Replacing G.obedit with obedit from context in view3d_header (other files will have to be done too, I just happened to stumble on that one while fixing other things).
So, editmode mesh is back! :)
At the moment only TABkey works and mouse select, 1 vertex at a
time. More will follow of course.
Note for the devs:
- G.editMesh has been removed, be careful with old code.
- EditMesh now is property of Mesh itself
Although it means unlimited editmodes, for migration purposes we
better stick to 1 "obedit" per scene, which is in Context too
- G.obedit will get removed soon, so use CTX_data_edit_object(C)
Or if you can't, just scene->obedit for now
- Also removed the CTX_data_edit_mesh(), this has no meaning
anymore. EditMesh is not context senstitive anymore, only the
edit-object for time being is.
- Martin: I've already tucked some EditMesh pointer in T and
removed all G.editMesh there.
Transform house cleaning. Gattering input methods in specialized code. It's not missing much before it can be used standalone (for example, to use the mouse to specify remove doubles threshold interactively).
Note to Aligorith: Transformations using INPUT_NONE (most Time* stuff) would use a cleanup.
* Fixed up most of the relevant Fixme's for Action Editor and/or some animation stuff
* Added keymap for action editor transforms to transform keymap.
* Added context pointer to TransInfo struct. This was needed to avoid passing context to everything. As such, renamed the old 'context' setting to options.
Transform:
First working port of the transform code:
- Object mode only (other conversions need to be ported)
- Contraints (global and local only) working
- Snap (no edit mode, obviously) working
- Numinput working
- Gears (Ctrl and Shift) working
- Only grap, rotate, scale, shear, warp and to sphere have been added as hotkey, but the rest should work too once accessible
- No manipulator
- No drawn feedback other than moving stuff and header print (no constraint line, snap circle, ...)
- No NDOF support
I've only tested Scons support, though Makefil *should* work, I *think*.
Misc:
-QuatIsNull function in arith
-Exporting project_* and view[line|ray] functions from view3d
